BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19957 Posts	Posted 06/18/2012 09:17 am Like Conder said, PVC residue is easily removed with acetone. However, the damage is permanent. Keep in mind, collectors usually mix up PVC residue and verdigris. Acetone will NOT remove verdigris. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19957 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 1:26 pm Yes, absolutely true....I've seen it a thousand times. Worse yet, I've had a couple people complain about VC not removing their verdigris. Then I see images of the coin and it's green paint or the like.....NOT verdigris. Lincoln Cent Lover!
